In previous work, (E)-2-enynyl pyridines were reported to yield indolizinyl singlet carbenes through base-catalyzed E/Z isomerization followed by a 5-exo-dig pseudocoarctate cyclization. We report herein that in the presence of ethyl acrylate these carbenes undergo stereoselective cis-cyclopropanation due mainly to electrostatic interactions in the transition state. The scope of this carbene generation scheme has been further explored through the preparation of a symmetric bis(pyridylenyl)alkyne which spontaneously furnished the biindolizine core in a one-pot reaction. Computational characterization of this transformation suggests a highly asynchronous double cyclization.
